Lesson OverviewSubject: Phonemic Awareness – Initial SoundsGrade 1Teacher Objective: TWW will distinguish words that have the same initial target sound in a set of spoken words. Student Objective: TLW orally match initial target sounds of letter /t/ with 90% accuracy.

ReviewTTW will lead class in reviewing “Act Out the Alphabet” song to refresh memory of the sounds each letter in the alphabet makes.

OverviewPurpose/Importance: To prepare students for phonics, reading, and writing with the hope of creating life-long readers and writers.Continuity: – Past – Students worked on learning the sounds each letter in the

alphabet makes.– Present – Students will distinguish and emphasis the initial sound

the letter /t/makes.– Future – Students will begin to recognize middle and ending

sounds.

• Objective: The learner will begin to recognize which words have the same beginning sound from a set of spoken words.

Motivation –

•Watch video of the “Letter T”.• Repeat video and have students sing along. Students will stress the letter /t/ sound.

PROCEDURESTTW be introducing the “T” Sound train on the board with the cars in a line. TWW show and place the picture cards on the board and have students repeat the names of each card, stressing the initial sound. TTW have students come to the board, selecting an object, naming the object and say the initial sound. TLW determine if initial sound matches the /t/ target sound. If it matches, TLW place object on a train car. If object does not match, TLW will place card on platform. Repeat until all students have had a turn.

SMALL GROUP ACTIVITYTTW have students break into pairs to play “Go Fish” game. Give each group a set of “Go Fish” game picture cards. Mix picture cards and separate into three equal stacks. Each student gets one stack and the rest go into the pond. TTW model the game by playing along with one student. TTW asks student “Do you have a picture that begins with /t/? TLW will say yes and give the correct picture card or will say “Go fish for a match!”. TTW select from the pond if necessary. TLWs will continue game until all cards are matched.

CLOSURE

TTW asks students to look around the room for objects in the classroom that begin with the letter /t/ sound. “What things do you see in our classroom that begins with the /t/ sound?”“Can you name the sound some other objects in the classroom begin with? How about my desk? Can you guess what letter “desk” begins with?”

Homework – Students will make a letter “T” collage of pictures from magazines of five items that begin with the

letter “T”.

Early Finishers – Complete attached worksheet focusing on beginning sounds of letter “T” and writing upper and lowercase letter “T”.Enrichment - Student will sort picture cards from “Go Fish” according to final sound. Remediation – Later in the day, remediation students will repeat “T” Sound Train activity in small group setting with paraprofessional

• Reading Disability – TTW help students to say and listen to each card, giving special attention to beginning sound. TWW will work with student on “Go Fish” game.

• ELA – Assist ELA students in pronouncing the picture words clearly. Have them listen to the word and beginning sound, as they also attend to how their lips and tongue are working as the word is pronounced. Should pronunciations of some words be difficult for student, accept approximations.
